You'll need some beans, rice, peas, nuts, lentils, or fruit seeds. You'll also need a glass jar or a ziploc bag, some water, and some paper towels. We will meet back later on in the day to check out what we've made, and see what our friends have made too. Now we will read our book to start, and learn a song to go along with it.
